प्लवङ्गमः monkey, वदताम् among those who are good at speech, वरस्य of the best ones, मनुजेश्वरस्य of the lord of men, रामस्य Rama's, पत्नीम् wife, सीताम् Sta, चिरस्य for a short while, अपश्यन् not able to find, दुःखाभिहितः hit by grief, अचिरस्य for a while, मन्दः इव as though dull, बभूव became.

Hanuman stood griefstricken, having (unsuccessfully) searched for a long time for the wife of Rama, the lord of men. The highly eloquent was now despondent. For a while he looked dull and dejected. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे पञ्चमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fifth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
